BEST LEARNING i-Poster My USA Interactive Map - Educational Talking Toy for Kids of Ages 5 to 12 Years Old

This is an awesome learning tool, and has become a family favourite - not only for my grandson but we are all learning the periodic table!!

I bought this in November, 2024. And my son love this more and more as time goes by. This is super fun and educational! He loves to learn about the flags, countries, landmarks, and fun facts. He's 4.5 yo now, and he can name many countries and flags.Highly recommended!

The media could not be loaded. The best! There could be an error here and there with time if you store it improperly but by far this is the best investment in learning geography for your kids and even you as an adult will benefit. Make sure you spend time with the kids, don’t just expect this or any toy to do the work of a smart baby sitter. When they know enough then the kids spend time with it by themselves or compete with siblings, but always keep yourself available to interact. You can’t lose!

The media could not be loaded. Es un artículo precioso vi videos en internet ya que acá Amazon no lo proporcionaba y lo vi con información súper interesante en idioma español. Pero este que adquirí solo está en versión Inglés. Cuando vi el botón language pensé que me dejaría poner en opción bilingüe (es decir que me hablaría tanto en inglés como en español. Mi hijo de 5 años solo habla español y sentiría q no entiende si solo se le habla en inglés por q no es su lengua. Pero para la persona o Niño que si hable inglés me pareció un artículo espectacular buen material, buen volumen, buenos datos , funciona Perfecto. Ojalá yo pueda conseguirlo en la versión Español por q sin duda alguna lo compraría es espectacular si mi calificación 3 solo por que no tenia el idioma que yo esperaba 🫶

Value for money.

Kids love this. Educational also.

I bought this map for my 2 year old daughter to help her learn about the states. Once I hung it up on her wall, I noticed something peculiar: There are potatoes pictured on Iowa. As a native Iowan, I can tell you with 100% confidence that whoever illustrated this map made the “common” mistake of confusing Iowa for Idaho. You hear a lot of that when you tell somebody that you’re from Iowa, “Oh, you’re from Idowa?!” Etc.There are no potatoes grown in Iowa. We’re the “corn and hogs” one.But nobody caught this oversight? How many drafts did this have to go through before manufacturing?So again, I bought this to teach my 2-year old daughter about the states. Maybe the illustrator this company hired should also learn about the states before illustrating something like - I don’t know - a map of the states.EDIT: After I had posted my original review, the company got in contact with me to apologize for the error, thank me for bringing it to their attention, and to offer me a full refund. They also said that this would fixed in future iterations of the product which is great to hear! As I had never made the first contact, this showed me that they do really care about their product quality as well as their customer satisfaction, and that is a big deal!So I would like to add to my review with some comments on the product itself besides the issue I mentioned in my original review:PROS:- There is a LOT of good information packed in here, and it can be a great educational resource for home or for classroom use. Some of the “fun facts” were things that I didn’t even know as a 28-year old American!- The auto-shutdown/sleep feature is very helpful for children who like to wander away from toys without turning them off, and the battery life is terrific! It will also give little reminders to turn it off if you haven’t touched it for a while (including playing the Brahms Lullaby which is super cute.)- Some reviewers have said that this mat is thin, but I don’t agree. It feels very durable and has withstood my 2-year old daughter vigorously poking at it. I simply have it mounted to the wall with command strips and a small hook through the top mounting hole, and it has stayed in place just fine. I think it would be durable enough for classroom use as well.CONS:- I wish the pacing of the recordings were a bit faster. Some of the narrations feel a bit slow, and I feel like they would better grab the attention of smaller children if they were a bit more concise or sped up a bit.- You have to press on the name of the state to activate the touch sensor inside the map. This can get confusing for children on the smaller states (New England states in particular) which are too small to have the names printed on them. For future iterations of the map, I think it would be helpful to have a magnified view of the New England and Mid-Atlantic states off to the side (similar to the way they have Alaska and Hawaii) with an arrow pointing to them on the full map.Thanks again to Best Learning for the wonderful customer service and for truly caring about my satisfaction as a customer!

I bought this as a 7th birthday gift for my great nephew who is a geography buff & he loves it!
